Bar Graph 0% (bAR 0) & Bar Graph 100% (bAR100)
Settings:
Allows the user to dene the reading values associated with 0%
and 100% on the display bar graph. Bars will appear/disappear in
10% increments of the total span between the two values.
NOTE: The 0% reference does not have to be the lower pressure setting; 0%
can be set as the higher pressure setting, thereby causing the bar graph to
increase as the pressure decreases. Negative pressure settings can also be
used as either the 0% or 100% reference points.
Setting the Display Bar Graph:
Step 1: Press the On/O button once to enter the main setup menu.
Step 2: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until AdVSET is displayed.
Step 3: Press (S) to access the Advanced Settings menu.

appear with the rst digit ashing.
Step 6: Press (Z) to change the value of the rst ashing digit (options: 0-9
or “-”).
Step 7: Press (S) to accept the value of the ashing digit and advance to the
next digit. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the desired 0% reading is fully
entered. After the last digit is accepted by pressing (S), the display will
return to the advanced setup menu.
Step 8: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until BAR100 is displayed.
Step 9: Repeat Steps 5-7 to enter the Bar Graph 100% value.

Full-Scale Range Adjust (RANGE):
Allows the user to adjust the reading at full-scale pressure. The reading can
be adjusted by +/-10% full-scale.
NOTE: The pressure reading must be within 5% of the full-scale value in
order to make Range adjustments. For example, a 1000 psi gauge would
need to be reading between 950 psi and 1050 psi in order to adjust the
Range feature. If the reading is not within 5% of full scale, NOAdJU (No
Adjustment) will be displayed when trying to adjust the Range.
Adjusting the Full-Scale Range:
Step 1: Ensure that the pressure reading is within 5% of full-scale.
Step 2: Press the On/O button to enter the main setup menu.
Step 3: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until AdVSET is displayed.
Step 4: Press (S) to access the Advanced Settings menu.
Step 5: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until RANGE is displayed.
Step 6: Press (S) to enter the Range adjust mode.
Step 7: Press (Z) to increase the reading, or press (S) to decrease the
reading.
Step 8: Press the On/O button to accept the adjusted reading and return
to the advanced setup menu.

Quick Calibration (CALIBR):
Allows the user to perform a quick calibration of the zero and span.
NOTE: Both zero pressure and full-scale pressure must be applied to the
gauge in order to complete the quick calibration process.
Performing Quick Calibration:
Step 1: Press the On/O button to enter the main setup menu.
Step 2: Press (Z) to cycle through the menu options until AdVSET is
displayed.
Step 3: Press (S) to enter the Advanced Settings menu.
Step 4: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until CALIBR is displayed.
Step 5: Press (S) to access the CALIBR mode. The gauge will display the
word ZERO, prompting the user to perform the zero pressure quick
calibration.
Step 6: Ensure no pressure is applied to the gauge. Press (Z) to zero the
gauge. The gauge will then display the word SPAN, prompting the user
to perform the full-scale pressure quick calibration.
Step 7: Apply full jack pressure to the gauge and press the (S) button to
complete the quick calibration and return to advanced setup menu.
Step 9: To exit the advanced setup menu, press (Z) until EXIT is displayed
and press (S) to exit to the main setup menu.

Tare (TARE):
Enabling the Tare function will set the current pressure reading as the zero
reference pressure in order to measure a net change in pressure as opposed
to measuring the gross pressure.
Enabling the Tare feature:
Step 1: Press the On/O button once to enter the main setup menu.
Step 2: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until TARE is displayed.
Step 3: Press (S) to access the Tare setting options.

Step 5: Press (S) button to apply the displayed option and return to main
setup menu.
NOTE 1: When tare function is enabled, the T5 symbol will appear in the
lower left corner of the display.
WARNING: Do NOT disconnect the gauge from the pressure tting while
the tare function is enabled. The gauge could still be under pressure
even though the reading shows 0.
NOTE 2: If the maximum gross full-scale pressure value is reached while the
Tare feature is enabled, the PG7 will automatically disable the Tare feature
and return to reading the gross pressure in order to help prevent the user
from accidently overpressuring the gauge.
NOTE 3: Pressing (Z) with the tare function enabled will re-tare the gauge at
the current pressure value.

OUTPUT:
Used to congure any optional gauges outputs, such as an analog signal or
trip point relays.
Analog Low (AL SET) & Analog High (AH SET) Setpoints:
Allows the user to dene the reading values associated with the Low Analog
signal (i.e. 4mA or 0V) and the High Analog signal (i.e. 20mA, 2V or 5V).
NOTE: The analog setpoints must be entered using the gauge’s base unit of
measure (typically PSI).
Setting the Analog Signal Span:
Step 1: Press the On/O button once to enter the main setup menu.
Step 2: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until OUTPUT is displayed.
Step 3: Press (S) to access the Output Settings menu.
Step 4: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until AL SET is displayed.
Step 5: Press (S) to access the Analog Low setpoint value. A 5-digit number
will appear with the rst digit ashing.
Step 6: Press (Z) to change the value of the rst ashing digit (options: 0-9
or “-”).
Step 7: Press (S) to accept the value of the ashing digit and advance to the
next digit. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the desired Analog Low reading is
fully entered. After the last digit is accepted by pressing (S), the display
will return to the main options menu.
Step 8: Press (S) to reenter the Output Settings menu.
Step 9: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until AH SET is displayed.

Analog Low (AL CAL) & Analog High (AH CAL) Calibration:
Allows the user to calibrate or “trim” the endpoints of the analog signal
output (i.e. 4mA & 20mA or 0V & 2V/5V)
Calibrating the Analog Signal End-Points:
Step 1: Use a calibrated meter to monitor the analog output signal.
Step 2: Force a low analog output signal (i.e. 4mA or 0V) either by adjusting
the applied pressure or by adjusting the Analog Setpoints (see “Analog
Low & Analog High Setpoints” on page 20 for details).
Step 3: Press the On/O button once to enter the main setup menu.
Step 4: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until Output is displayed.
Step 5: Press (S) to access the Output Settings menu.
Step 6: Press (Z) to cycle through the setup options until AL CAL is
displayed.
Step 7: Press (S) to access the Analog Low Calibration value. A 5-digit
number will appear with the rst digit ashing.
Step 8: Press (Z) to change the value of the ashing digit.
NOTE: Increasing this 5-digit number will increase the output signal.
Changing the digit farthest to the left will produce the coarsest adjustment,
while each successive digit moving to the right will cause subsequently ner
adjustments to the output signal.
Step 9: Press (S) to accept the value of the ashing digit and advance to the
next digit. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the desired Analog Output signal
is displayed on the meter. After the last digit is accepted by pressing
(S), the display will return to the output menu.
Step 10: Press (S) to reenter the Output Settings menu.
Step 11: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until AH CAL is displayed.
Step 12: Repeat Steps 5-7 to adjust the Analog High Calibration value.
Step 13: To exit the output menu, press (Z) until EXIT is displayed and press
(S) to exit to the main setup menu.
